Thanks!!. Name plugin is example.
I already edit post.

This should work:

PHP Code:

#Home window
<onload>SetProperty(RefreshList,1,Home)</onload>

#Content
<content>$VAR[PlaylistPath]</content>

#Path Variable
<variable name="PlaylistPath">
    <value condition="!Window.IsVisible(3050)">path_to_playlist</value>
</variable>

#Custom window
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<window type="dialog" id="3050">
    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
    <onload>ClearProperty(RefreshList,Home)</onload>
    <visible>!IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(RefreshList))</visible>
    <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="0" delay="5">WindowClose</animation>
    <controls></controls>
</window> 


That way the path gets changed on window load which triggers a refresh. Clearing the property just after setting it in onload doesn't work because it happens in the same frame so the application will not notice the change. Since AlarmClock doesn't work with ms, you need the custom window unless you can live with a 1 second delay.

I plan to add a reload function for the container which will make it much easier to manually trigger an update.

Hi Black
Sometime get error

PHP Code:

ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting 


my content static is folder. I get error when I re-click item content staics (xbmc created cache window).
How to fix it?
Thanks.

Target should be 'video' not 'videos'.

[`Black]

'video' and 'videos' are both working.

[Hitcher]

Then I assume it's something wrong with the path.

Target should be 'video' not 'videos'.

'video' and 'videos' are both working.

Thank Hitcher, Black.
Solved! Black's guide is help me. I dont set cache xbmc for plugin (plugin get content Episode, Movie... not content statics)

PHP Code:

xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(int(sys.argv[1]), cacheToDisc=False) 


It works and I dont get above error.

my workflow (I use content statics for change window):
window A (cache) -> window B (cache) -> window A (get error but window still load item and ok because of MyVideoNav.xml refreshList)

Dont set cachetoDics:
window A (delay time) -> window B(delay time) -> window A(delay time and not get error)

So, I wanna use cache for my plugin. Is it possible?

[`Black]

Cache is used automatically for plugins. What you need to handle is the refreshing.

I wanna if folder path window is change, content will reload static content. At the moment, I get a small error as below

PHP Code:

ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting 


I think the error dont affect system.
Thank Black for answer.

It's already possible to limit number of tems in content ?

[`Black]

Yes, it was merged yesterday.

PHP Code:

<content limit="10">videodb://movies/titles</content> 


[Martijn]

perhaps eventually put all the info in this thread in a nice wiki page in the skin section?
@ned

[`Black]

Already did that.. Will update accordingly if new features arrive or changes were made.

[Martijn]

nice.
perhaps other could shim in with adding some code examples mentioned in this thread. so other can get started easier with this

[butchabay]

Yes, it was merged yesterday.

PHP Code:

<content limit="10">videodb://movies/titles</content> 


Nice, so this feature will be avaiable for gotham builds or helix ?

[`Black]

Helix only.
